UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

EDWARD OARNEY, OF TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.

HAlFt-RESTORER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,439, dated December 3, 1889.

Application filed September '7, 1889. Serial No. 323,336. (No specimens.)

To all whom) it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD CARNEY, a

Haute, in the county of Vigo and State of In diana, have invented a new and useful Hair- Restorer, to be used for restoring the human hair to its natural color, and at the same time and without additional ingredients or applications cures dandruff and prevents the hair from loosening and falling out, of which the following is a specification.

The composition is composed of one and one-half ounce hyposulphite of soda, chemically pure, (Malankrots,) three-fourths ounce plumbic acetate, tSquibbsJ one-half ounce tincture cantharides, one ounce glycerine, one-eighth ounce extract white rose, (best) and one pint soft Water, (rain-Water.) Thoroughly mingle by agitation and let stand one day.

In using the above-named composition, first wash the hair well ina solution of pulverized borax, (borax, one tea-spoonful dissolved in one pint rain-Water,) and dry thoroughly With a soft towel. Then apply the mixture once a day until the desired color is obtained; then two (2) or three (3) times per month, or as is necessary. No hair-dressing is necessary, as

By the use of the above-described composition and process the hair is thoroughly cleansed and brought backto its natural color, if from age or any other cause it has lost its natural color, and especially is gray hair restored to its natural color, and made glossy, 3 5 lively, and pliant, and at the same time it prevents the hair from falling out.

I am aware that a compound has been made for coloring and preserving the hair which includes only hyposulphite of soda, glycerine, 40 rose-Water, and soft water, and such I do not claim. Over such a mixture mine has the advantage that it will not'discolor the skin where it may touch the same. It Will leave the hair lively and natural, and yet give a color perfectly natural. It prevents dandrufi, and at the same time serves as a hair-dressing.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The hair-restorer hereinbefore described, consisting of hyposulphite of soda, acetate of lead, tincture of cantharides, glycerine, extract of rose, and soft water, in the proportions substantially as set forth.

EDXVARD CARNEY.
